Nisa, AKA: Brooklyn-based artist, Nisa Lumaj is today sharing her new single, “Sea Glass”. Out via LA-based label, Hit the North Records, the new single lands just ahead of a show at Purgatory, Brooklyn with Kierst and Shep Treasure. “Sea Glass,” follows Nisa’s 2022 EP, Exaggerate The Brooklyn artist’s debut album which is due for release in early 2024.

Speaking about “Sea Glass”, a track that pulls on the wonky-pop sounds of Water From Your Eyes, Braids and Jockstrap, Nisa says: “I wrote “Sea Glass” about the contradiction of holding cherished memories with a person against a fractured relationship with them. It’s about the distortion of a past moment that allows for a sense of comfort, above all.”

Nisa’s now based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, but was born and raised by Albanian immigrants in a neighborhood near Morningside Heights, after moving from The Bronx at age 10. Because her parents spoke English as a second language, she wasn’t exposed to American pop or rock music until she moved to Manhattan. As a byproduct of spending her teen years in the city’s most metropolitan borough, she found herself around a circle of musicians interested in more contemporary music than what she’d previously been exposed to at home although it was when she would later move to London for university that she began to absorb more indie-pop adjacent sounds.
